Green Roof Systems

The focus on improving the quality of life in our urban environments and reducing the impact on our buildings, can be assisted with the installation of a Viking Roof Garden System.

A roof garden is a roof that is partially or completely covered with vegetation and soil; lined by a membrane that ensures the living space below remains watertight.

As compelling as the idea of a roof garden can be, there are several facets that must be executed correctly to ensure a successful roof garden installation. A dead roof garden, or worse-still, a leaking one is a hugely expensive issue to resolve.

Key factors include:

  • An appropriate waterproofing membrane layer
  • Only trained applicators installing that membrane system – (to the manufacturer’s specification)
  • Proven roof garden drainage components that have been sourced from the same reputable manufacturer
  • The soil (a.k.a ‘growth medium’) having been specifically formulated for roof gardens eg: high draining soil full of pumice , compost and perlite
  • Plants and grasses that aren’t too thirsty and don’t possess aggressive root structures
  • A maintenance programme employed, or better still, proprietary watering system

Components of a Viking Roof Garden System

  • Waterproofing membrane (Enviroclad or Anti-root torch-on)
  • Root Barrier* Drainage Board Composite (including protection fabric, drainage board cups and moisture retention layer)
  • Plants and soil
  • Aluminium drain protection box
  • Aluminium garden edging

The Viking Roof Garden system offers both functional and aesthetically appealing benefits:

  • Reduces storm water runoff
  • Air and water purification
  • Protects roof membrane from climatic extremes
  • Sound and temperature control
  • Insulates and shades building
  • Provides a pleasant outdoor area
  • Utilises a buildings ‘5th wall’
  • Installed only by a Viking Approved Applicator
  • 20-year product warranty
  • BRANZ appraised (Appraisal No. 903)

Viking Roofspec understands that each roof garden is unique. We work with all project stakeholders to create a custom roof system that meets New Zealand Building Code requirements; the challenges of the local climate; and the needs of the building owner.

“When we made the decision to go with a new roof solution we contacted a variety of companies. After having many issues with some, Viking stood out as the most professional so we went with them. There is a level of trust that you have to have in a company and Viking exceeded our expectations. They provided clear communication through the job and any issues (raised by us or them) were discussed and resolved through good consultation. The roof looks fantastic and was done quickly and professionally.”
